The only PC on Gigabit in my house now is mine. I won't give it up. Wife and kids PCs are all wireless, as are the printers, phones, gaming consoles, tablets, TVs, and DVR devices.

I have both an iPad and Kindle. A few things with the iPad...I touch a word, the dictionary entry comes up. This is quite helpful. I am used to referring to the progress bar so sequence recall isn't a problem. Some books have x-Ray enabled, and that helps with story cohesion. Basically, after I've spent a lot of time with the iPad reader, I find it as good or better than paper. Except for the beach.
The thing about the kindle is it comes somewhere between a paperback that you would take to the beach and an iPad that you would treat with great care.

Stuff it full of Muslims!
Why would I want my porn collection going to my wife? I'd much rather give it to my girlfriend. After all, we bought most of it together.
Starred in it too I hear.
What the computer can do is point out what is similar. Whether the similarity is an example of influence then needs to be established with further evidence.
Of course even if there is influence it may not be direct. Both artists could have been influenced by another earlier artist, or the second one influenced by an intermediate one, or there could be a whole complex tree of influences
I don't work for a company that made the mistake of getting involved in that nightmare.
I'm pretty sure that a lot of companies are doing just fine out of it - paid to deliver the wrong thing then paid to deliver what the government should have specified in the first place.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
